Three engineers in India have created lingerie that supposedly can protect women from being raped. The lingerie is called Society Harnessing Equipment (SHE) and it has global positioning system (GPS) and global system for mobile communications (GSM) modules integrated in it, as well as pressure sensors. It is also capable of sending shock waves of 3,800 KV and alerts to the girl's parents and police via SMS.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Manisha Mohan, an engineering student of the SRM University in Chennai said "The shocks can be emitted up to 82 times," and assured that the device is effective and can save women "from situations faced in bus, public places," where they are often hesitant to seek the help of law enforcement agents.
